Sherwin-Williams looked at their sales records for 2024. Radiant Lilac was the shade that sold the least.

Surprise surprise surprise!

All the example pics are hideous.

Maybe because it's not a spectral color?

We had a sectional that color for a while. I thought it looked good against the Wedgewood Blue wall in the Living Room.

Sharon picked it, though, and even so she never really warmed up to it. We didn’t have it very long.

Ha! That’s basically the color I chose for my childhood bedroom. It’s probably still that color at my mom’s house. Worked for me!

Don't blame the color.
Blame the artist/designer.

Colors can be annoying. Have seen that in combination with the other pale colors used in tropical settings where it is more common and easier to look at.

Personal choice. Grey and sage and beige seem current favourites here.

We just chose a dark plum colour for the external cladding.
£90 for 5litres.
I need to buy shares in paint

Anything but black, gray, or white. I am so so so so sick of all the house remodels we see being done in those "colors". (They are not color. They are the absence of color.) We live in a climate that has winter half the year. What the hell is with all the gray/black???

I will take a lilac theme any day over that.

@pique said in The loneliest color of paint:

Anything but black, gray, or white. … (They are not color. They are the absence of color.)

Well, spectrographically, black, gray, and white are the equal absence and degrees of equal presence of all colors.
